`.Application filed May 18, 1925. Serial No. 30,960.-k

y invention relates to covers for cooking vessels, adapted especially to reduce heat waste during cooking operations and to eon fine and distribute the rising heat about the cooking vessels, and my invention has for its main object the provision of an improved construction of this kind which will be highly efficient in use and economical in nianufacture.

Other objects will appear hereinafter.

rlhe invention consists in the combinations and arrangements of parts hereinafter described and claimed.

rlhe invention will be best kunderstood by reference K 'to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, andv in which, Y

Fig. 1 represents a central cross section through acover made in accordance with the pr sent invention;

Fig. 2 shows an underneath plan view of the cover, fractionally shown;

Fig. 3 shows a side elevational view of the cover;

F ig. l is a top plan view thereof with parts broken away; and

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of a channel piece.

The preferred embodiment of my invention as illustrated in the accompanying drawings comprises a hood designated generally by the reference character 6 and made of a size sui'iicient to be placed over a cooking vessel as 7 so as to provide therearound an air space 8.

In the contruction shown, the hood 6 inchicles side walls or shells 9 and 10 which are connected together in spaced relation and between which is placed a suitable packing or filling comprising uninflammable heatinsulating material. Preferably and as shown the Vpacking or filling consists of lay-v ers of asbestos 11 which may be conveniently inserted in ring form. The outer wall or shell may be formed at its lower end, as shown, with spaced clip members 12 adapted to be engaged over and crimped upon the inner wall member 9.

The hood 6 further includes spaced top members 18 and 14 between which is placed suitable heat conserving material 15. The composite marginal edge 16 of the top closure, composed of the inner and outer members 13 and 14 and insulating material 15 is mounted upon the inner side wall 9 provided suitable and insulating material Vll surroundingthe same. rlhe outer side wall-10 -is-formed with a flanged portion 1'? which is bent over, crimped or otherwise secured.- upon the top member 11i of the top closure. To the top closure is securedy a handle member 16 whereby the hood may be lifted ory carried about.

Through the inner wall`9 are providedl spaced apertures 2O at the top end thereof, and through the insulating'` material. llV are,V registering` apertures 2lv which comprise suitable inlet-s for draft passageways 22 produced by inserting lfacewise alongside the outer wallv 10 the channel pieces 23 which extend toand discharge at the bottom endfof the hood as shown.. Said channel pieces are provided at their top ends with struck-out lugs QBadapted t0 be projected through the inlet aperturesfl and and to be bent down uponthe inner wall 9. Provision is thus made for inducing. drafts from the upper interior of the hood to points around the bottomedge thereof. From a. heating element 24, herein represented as a gas burner, the heat rises into the air space 8 between the hood and the cooking vessel 7, and because of the draft passageways opening from the interior of the hood, the hot air rising from the burner is drawn into the-air space 8. Preferably, the draft passageways are made relatively small in cross section so that while they are sufldcient to induce the desired draft, they will not, on the other hand, seriously affect the distribution and confinement around thev cooking' vessel. The hood made with draft passageways arranged in accordance with the present invention, is especially effective in connection with a heating element such as a gas burner, since the cool air currents which move toward the burner to take the place of the heated air rising therefrom,l tend to induce a strong down draft through the passageways as well as to direct the rising hot air into the air space surrounding the cooking vessel. This arrangement makes it possible to cook with a great saving of gas.

lVhile I have illustrated and described the preferred form of construction for carrying my invention into effect, this is capable of variation and modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I, therefore, do not wish to be limited to the ask sin

precise detuils ot construction set forth, but desire to eveil niyselof suoli Variations end inodilientions es eoine within the .scope ot the Claims. 'Y
